Just spent 10 minutes stood looking at the toaster, waiting for my morning toast to pop up. Until I realised that I hadn't actually placed any bread into the toaster.

Worrying...

what would of been more worrying, is having toast popping up, just as you realise that you hadnt put bread in.

My grandmother-in-law is the worst. She phoned up my mum-in-law saying it was late and she wanted to go to bed but the men in her front room were still talking and should she make them a cup of tea? Turns out the "men in her front room" was in fact Parkinson on the TV.

Oh hun.

Im not laughing .... THAT much lol....

My favourite senior moment of late involved embarrassing myself in the audience of Escoffey's Six More Impossible Things.

There's a moment where everyone is asked to stand and face the middle of the room. We're encouraged to call out a thought of word three times, and then change it to another word we can hear. If we can hear several people chanting the same word then we have to go with that one, but if no dominant word is called out, then we can choose.

We end up all chanting "sausage", and as we turn around and sit down, Philip asks "who said sausage?"

And sometimes my brain can be a bit too literal. I raised my hand, along with a girl in the front row.

"Oh you said sausage too?" Philip asks me.

"Yes," says I, "but not to begin with."

My grandma thought that a dried flower arrangement in her room was a bird an kept quiet all morning as not to disturb it. When my dad and uncle visited her, she told them to keep quiet aswell.

Two toasts pop up and there is a sound. What is the sound of one toast? (Zen Koan)

My mother once made a cup of coffee for her mother. They were talking on the phone at the time.
